Helen Ford Wallace: Parties, Etc.: Oct. 28

Brunch: Lizanne Reger was honoree at a brunch and baby shower. Hostesses were Kris Weir and Mary Price and their daughters, Meg Weir and Eileen Everest, in the Price home. Lizanne and her husband, Joe Reger, live in Washington. Guests voted whether they thought the baby who will be born in December would be a girl or a boy.

Party: Liz Eickman, who plans to marry Marvin Quinn in December, was honored at a “Toast The Bride” event in the home of Gayle Semtner. Toasts were given by Wendy Simpson, Pat Gallagher and Kay Goebel.

Decor: Bouquets of roses were set around the house and a large engagement ring balloon greeted guests.

Perfect entertainment: Questions and answers were posted throughout the house such as “How did they meet?” Answer: “Rowing.” Guests enjoyed finding out the facts since some of them were surprised about the wedding plans.

Occasion: A 60th anniversary cocktail reception for family owned McCubbin Hosiery was held at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. Hosts were Mark and David McCubbin, grandsons of the founder. They greeted guests as they arrived and were joined by other family members, including D'Arline McCubbin, Marta McCubbin, Sarah and Alison McCubbin, Ashley McCubbin, Kimberly and Austin Heape and Becky McCubbin.

Decorations: A hosiery machine from 1915 sat at the front door of the country club. There was also a company timeline, company catalogs from the 1960s, portraits of Richard McCubbin and Chester McCubbin. Centerpieces were yarn cones (used for knitting) filled with flowers. Leg forms with assorted socks decorated the bar area.

Take away treats: Party favors were anniversary socks designed for the occasion.

Cake: A chiffon cake designed in the shape of the “leg lamp” from the movie “A Christmas Story” was served.
